More Recent Update

Again, I apologize for the sideways pics....


Ken's Corn Maze. We went the night we found out about J's new job. It was pretty hard. You were supposed to find stations throughout.... I don't think we even found half!




J with 10 day old baby Archer. He is so cute!! (well both of them are)

Love gas prices in SC compared to NC!

Some Crazy Catch-up

Soooo much has been going on I haven't had time to update. On top of that, we have just been trying to keep our news on the down low until J put in his two weeks.  He did on Friday, so now it's okay that the whole world knows..... We are moving to Atlanta!

Almost 3 years ago, J interviewed for a job at Nielsen as an Analyst for Coke. He was told he needed more experience, so we ended up in NC. Well, this past July, the job opened and J casually applied. We thought nothing would come of it.  He just wanted to keep his name in the pool. Well to our surprise the hiring manager last time remembered him and wanted to interview him! After a phone screening, a phone interview, and a day of 4 1:1 interviews, he completed the process. Late last Friday (5th) he was offered the job. 

I apologize for the sideways-ness of the pictures... They are from my phone and Blogger won't let me flip them. 

So on Sept 20, we hit the road for ATL. We stayed in Buckhead so it would be an easy drive to Coke and close to shopping for me.  I shopped and did some homework during J's nearly 4 hour interview. We explored parts of the city to see where we might want to live. We also had some really good BBQ. The following Saturday, we spent with our friends in Anderson, SC. It was great catching up and visiting their church. And now we will only be 2 hours away!  

Here are some pics from our first ATL trip.


Community Q BBQ (we went again yesterday. I can see us there frequently.)


Better get used to this!



 

We thought this was genius... no room for 'Prayer Requests' on your box? 'Prary Quests' will do.

Our go-to pit stop :)

 
 

Microsoft trying to be Apple. I was there on the day the iPhone 5 was released, so Apple was packed. Microsoft, so no much....
